Description
Refresh Object does not support repetition numbers when updating the visibility state of an object with a hidden condition.
If the specified object is in a portal, Refresh Object updates the object in every visible portal row.
If the repetition calculation returns zero, or the expression does not exist, all repetitions are refreshed.
